This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
Your reference to the PAP test troubled me. I was thinking, not only do we men undergoing treatment experience hot flashes and enlarged breasts as part of our feminization, now we have to undergo the indignity of a PAP test, the same one that women take to screen for cervical cancer. Turns out the test women take is the other PAP test, created by a Greek doctor with a long last name with the first three letters being Pap.
Brushing aside that silliness, I hope the previous poster, Thomas Wolf, overcomes his present situation.
